Q:
Marcus mixes 5 parts white paint with 2 parts red paint to make pink. Suppose he adds one part of each. What is the new ratio of red to white?
Accepted Solution
A:
The original ratio is 5/2.
If Marcus adds 1 part of each to the mixture, the new ratio of red to white becomes
5+1 6 2
------ = ----- = ----
2+1 3 1
The new ratio of red to white is 2:1.
